Harare turn violent

Report (with Pictures) by the International Revolutionary Workers of Zimbabwe, 25.8.2016, www.thecommunists.net

Introductory Remarks of the Editorial Board:Below we publish a
short report of the comrades of theInternational Revolutionary Workers of Zimbabwewith some pictures. It is clear that the events in the country are developing rapidly and could open a
pre-revolutionary situation in the near future.

All this underlines the importance of the formation of mass action committees of the workers,
unemployed, poor peasants and the radical youth. These popular action committees should prepare an indefinite general strike against the reactionary regime of Mugabe. Furthermore

It is highly important that militant workers and youth join forces in order to build a revolutionary workers party as part of
a New World Party of Socialist Revolution, which will be the Fifth International.
